Journalist attacked and maced for being MAGA — Frank Scales speaks out



Conservative journalist and co-founder of Surge Media Frank Scales was attacked and maced by a radical leftist on the bus — who justified her actions by claiming that he was a racist and a fascist who harasses people.

In a video of the attack, the woman continues to get in Scales' face while he’s sitting down in his bus seat, before pulling out the mace.

He was able to dodge the mace, which got the back of his head, and when he pressed her on why she believed he was a racist, she said she has seen what he posts on the internet.

“You talk s**t about Islamic people, you talk s**t about black people, you talk s**t about Mexicans, and you post it on the internet,” she screamed, completely unhinged.


“I was looking out of the window, enjoying my ride on the bus, and this lady behind me started screaming at me. She essentially said, ‘You’re a fascist, you’re a racist, I seen you on the internet.’” And I said, ‘I disagree with that characterization you’re making about my work, but I hope you have a good day,’” Scales tells BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales on “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered.”

“And when she saw she couldn’t bait me into an argument, she got more aggressive, and I immediately started recording. I’m very grateful that I started recording pretty quickly and captured the whole interaction on my phone, and we posted it. But it was out of nowhere,” he continues.

“What shocks me is how fast she went from trying to bait me to getting violent with me. It was very unnerving,” he adds.

“That seems to be the typical, Democrat, liberal MO is to bait you. … When that doesn’t work, they get very angry and they get very violent, as it turns out,” Gonzales says.

The even more interesting part of the attack is that Scales knew his attacker.

“You guys attended school together at the Community College of Philadelphia, and so you knew each other. You had a seemingly good relationship. She was interviewing you about being student body president. So what happened, Frank?” Gonzales asks.

“First, I was investigated for saying that the founding fathers of this country were good people. And then I endorsed President Trump, and I got impeached and removed from my position as student government president. At that point, everybody turned on me,” he explains.

“I think she actually wrote a hit piece on me,” he says of his attacker.

“I think the Community College of Philadelphia needs to come out and they need to denounce political violence for my own safety,” he adds.

Stephen A. Smith interviews Candace Owens; proves he 'doesn’t have the GUTS' to run for president



After rumors of Stephen A. Smith’s potential candidacy began to swirl, the ESPN host decided to stir the pot even further by having Candace Owens on his show.

“When that young lady speaks, don’t even think about challenging her intelligence. Don’t even think about challenging her ability to articulate her point of view. You better know what the hell you’re talking about when you come at her,” Smith said after his interview with the conservative powerhouse.

“Some people are making a mistake and thinking that Stephen A. has some interest perhaps in running as a Republican, or launching a political career as a Republican,” Jason Whitlock of “Fearless” comments.

“He’s a hard-core Democrat. He’s just pretending that he’s a reasonable Democrat,” he adds.


Steve Kim watched his interview with Owens and “thought it was an intellectual mismatch.”

“If there should be a broadcast personality that should run for president or any type of office, it would be Candace. It is not Stephen A. Smith,” Kim says. “Stephen, there’s a lot you don’t know, because you’re not that intelligent when it comes to this.”

“You’re really not, and you’re a bit of a caricature. You like to bloviate, you give great sound bites, but that interview right there would have shown that in a debate setting, with more serious people, he would be completely overmatched,” he continues.

And it’s not just that he’s not built for the position intellectually — but he doesn’t have the guts, either.

“The one thing I do like about Candace,” Kim says, “whether I agree or disagree with her or not, because that’s irrelevant. No one’s gonna agree with anybody on everything. But when she takes a hard-line position, she does not try to soften it in any way.”

“In other words, she plants her flag and she says, ‘This is what I think, and if you don’t like it, I don’t care,’” he continues. “The issue with Stephen A. Smith is I don’t think he has guts, I really don’t.”

“I think you’re right that he has no guts,” Whitlock responds. “And maybe doesn’t have the stomach for political office.”

“As a politician, I believe you have to be able to take hard-line stances and stick with them. I hate this fake forced neutrality where if you say one good thing about something,” Kim chimes in, “to give the air that you're unbiased, you have to say something you really don’t mean nice about the other side.”
